I booked Handy Hands to help my parents move out of their home of 30 years, and this is what my mom had to say — “They were truly terrific! So hardworking and nice.” 100% recommend.

Yes, Mike and Rick were on time, came prepared and worked hard. I was concerned we might not have enough room in our storage unit but they packed everything very well and were very organized. They also took special care with artwork and fragile items. Marshall was easy to deal with and was very understanding when we had to change our time due to travel issues. We would use them again!

2 guys parked out front, sat in car a few minutes then got out and had a smoke. Finally they walked up driveway and I showed them layout of house and explained to them the areas of house where items were being moved to. They brought no floor runners, no hand truck, no carry straps for heavier items.
The first half hour moved along well and then there was a gradual slowdown. They moved at a slower and slower pace and took excessively long to complete the job incompletely. I got the impression this was a mere side job for them they regretted having to perform. I did not detect there was much prior experience in furniture moving nor a great concern for banging and twisting things. Many complaints heard about heaviness of boxes and furniture. (I'm elderly and moved much of the material myself.)

I would not use them again.

On one positive note (?), after a call from their office to see if they completed the job, I mentioned my displeasure. I later received a call back stating they would refund me for 1 Hour of charged labor time. The company I used to load up the same things (Oregon Trail Moving) did twice the work in half the time for half the money and they supplied a hand truck, carry straps, floor protection, and wrapping material. A vastly different experience on each end of my move.

Mover's response:
Thank you for your business. We unloaded 3 16ft pods in 3.5hrs and refunded you for 1 hour. Yes one of the pods was already half unloaded by the customer. Despite the weather not cooperating that is still not bad timing. There was no request made for floor coverings or straps at the time of the order or we would have provided that. The price was clear at the time order was placed. Please refer to our other reviews this in our opinion is an unfair review. Thank you again for your business

Mike and Derek were fabulous. They arrived early and got right to work. They lifted and carried several heavy awkward items down a narrow staircase with no damages to speak of. They loaded a trailer, three pick-up trucks and their van and drove to the storage unit 12 miles away with us to unload and pack it. Then they came back to the house and repeated the process without a word of complaint. In fact they were cheerful and friendly, and I would hire them again in a second. These are good guys.
